Amanda M. Hicks petitions Theodore Roosevelt to come speak to a group of young women from the University of California while he is in Berkeley, California. She had previously written to several people to try to ascertain Roosevelt’s plans, and was told to ask him directly when he was in the state. Hicks hopes that Roosevelt will agree to speak to her group, representing “the rank and file of the young women who are to be the future makers of our homes and of our nation.”
